AfGhanistan playing nicely...they are in the process of stabilizing their team. healthy 4.3 run rate. if they don't lose wickets for another 10 overs, they seem destined to score around 280-300.
Sri Lanka's win is not guaranteed. there may be an upset today.
it's unbelievable that Malinga has been very ineffective in the this world cup. he hasn't been able to take any wickets so far in this match and in the last match as far as i remember.
*FIRST Sri Lankan wicket down on the FIRST ball...

is yesterday's history gonna repeat tonight? lol

Dawlat Zadran to Thirimanne, OUT, and what a way to get Afghanistan off and rocking as he delivers a full delivery on the pads which strikes Lahiru in line. The keeper and slips know he is gone right away as the umpire doesn't hesitate to raise the finger. This was definitely in line, and hitting the back pad

Shapoor Zadran to Dilshan, OUT, Shapoor is the man in Dunedin. Gets across a back of a length delivery at good pace, and carry off the deck. Dilshan, facing his very first ball, ends up tickling an edge to the keeper after this bounced a little more on him than he expected. Both openers in the shed with just eight deliveries bowled in the innings. Afghanistan off to a fantastic start!
TM Dilshan c †Afsar Zazai b Shapoor Zadran 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Sanga OUT! a HUGE wicket!

Sri Lanka **18/3 (5.3 ov)

Hamid Hassan to Sangakkara, OUT, breaks through Sangakkara's defence as Hamid Hassan has set the University Oval on fire! The Big Kahuna falls as he is beaten through the gate to this one swinging in from wide of off, with Hamid Hassan putting in a rather awkward cartwheel to finish off the celebrations

Hamid Hassan to Karunaratne, OUT, Hamid Hassan is producing the good as he gets Dimuth to go after a length delivery outside of off which catches the outside edge to provide a straightforward chance to the slip, who is able to complete the catch after fumbling the first take. Hassan gets down on one knee and looks to the heavens, almost Freddie-Flintoff style. Sri Lanka four down and in a world of trouble
FDM Karunaratne c Nawroz Mangal b Hamid Hassan 23 (32b 3x4 0x6) SR: 71.87

Mirwais Ashraf to Jayawardene, 1 run, Sri Lanka really struggling under the pressure as Mahela called early for this single down the leg side, with the close-in fielder picking up the ball and firing in a throw at the striker's end, with Mathews just short of his crease after he was a bit late on the call. Would have been curtains had the ball struck the timber
ok guys, i'm off now to watch India vs SA match in peace...will see you later. bye. :)
